Bio-based Plastic (Bioplastic) & Polymer Market by Type, Application & Geography: Global Trends, Forecasts up to 2017
The bio-based plastic (bio-plastic) will play a major role in sustainable production and consumption due to its ability to reduce the carbon foot print and green house gases emissions combined with substitution and savings in fossil fuel consumption. The global production capacity for bio-plastics amounted to over 1 million ton in 2011 out of which 60% production was of bio-based non degradable plastics as they find huge applications in bottling soft drinks, durable items and automotive applications etc. Innovations and sustainable developments will grow production share of non biodegradable bio-plastics to about 85% by 2017.
